Masters 2023

[Billysboots]

71 great holes of golf. I’ll bet he’s forgotten all about the other one now. Fabulous performance over four days.

Some final round that from Rahmbo. Well deserved .

 

[Jimaroid]

That was great, he played some great golf this weekend. Such fun to watch too with never a boring shot in him.

Great stuff from Rahm.

He was due more majors. Keep them coming.

All the talk about the 13th being lengthened, Rahm hits the longest drive of the day round the corner to cement his position. Unreal drive for someone who likes to fade it.

The way butch stares down the camera really freaks me out

Fantastic win for Rahm - and for golf.

Great final leaderboard.

Anyone with a wonky eye that stares freaks me out.

Do we have to have the pundits stand? They just look awkward and don't know what to do with their hands

What's wrong with a chair or desk

Surprised BK faltered but JR was relentless - after the 1st hole! Stuff which tour/league they play on/in; they are all great players! Though happy there's no LIV win spectacle as that would have been against my feelings about what The Masters is about! Fabulous tournament for the 1 Am that made the cut! Even happy for Tiger, even after his WD. Augusta is just too hilly for him currently. Even happy for Sandy Lyle, who will be back again in future for eveything about the tournament bar actually playing in it!

Brilliant tournament:
- top winner who goes back to no1
- Couples the oldest player to ever make the cut
- Tiger with an incredible 23 consecutive cuts at Augusta
- Mickleson with his best Augusta round since 1996
- excellent showing by the low Am

Delighted for Rham, he's a fantastic golfer and a joy to watch.

I felt for Koepka, he played very well for 3 rounds, maybe his lack of 72 hole rounds this year was the factor.

 

[SatchFan]

Great win for Rahm and three LIV apparent has-beens in the top 5.

Yes! I have no idea who told him to do this but it feels so unnerving.

Pace of play atrocious for 2 balls

Peter Allis would be moaning like anything- "4hrs 20 for a two ball, it was 2hrs 20 in my day"

Personally I can remember when I could go to bed at 11 after watching the Masters. I have fallen asleep on the armchair on more than one occasion in recent years missing the end.

It’s the very American style of presenting and Butch is not alone in it.

Some premise that you should converse “with the audience” rather than the person that just asked you a non-rhetorical question who is sat next to/across from you.

Absolutely brilliant. Now, what is it they win for second and fourth again?

 

[Imurg]

Lots of people need to remember that any of the players who qualify for any of the Majors, bar a minor handful, are capable of winning.
It doesn't necessarily mean that they're the best in the world just because they've had a top 10 in a Major...

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The fashion in golf over the last 10-15 years is that a player will have a hot streak of 2-3 years where they will be on fire but after that the majors either dry up completely or they become very occasional. Rahm is in that streak right now, playing magnificent golf. When you are in that place you need to capitalise and win those majors, not just regular tournaments. They are what cement your place in history. I'm pleased for Rahm that his quality of play is formally recognised by that second major.
